DYLON Washing Machine Fabric Dye

I was really impressed with this fabric dye. I had some shorts and trousers that had faded over time and were starting to look old and tired, so I thought I’d give this a try rather than replace them.The colour that came out was fantastic and really brought the clothes back to life. They look refreshed and almost like new again, giving them a whole new lease of life. The colour was rich and even, and the results were better than I expected. The picture doesn't do them justice.The instructions were very easy to follow, and I particularly liked how straightforward the whole process was. It was so much easier than I anticipated, and being able to use it in the washing machine made it really convenient. It didn't leave any residue in my washing machine so I was able to use it afterwards, once the process had finished.A great way to revive faded clothes rather than throwing them away. I’m really pleased with the results and will definitely use Dylon dye again.

Reading some of the more negative reviews, I thought this new approach of chucking in the dye within a container would be problematic. Not so! All in one product (no more kilos of salt to buy) & no more emptying out of the dye into the drum - nice and straightforward with less room for accidents. I've been using Dylon's range of dyes for a few years now and this latest format makes it even more simple than the previous all-in-one pouch.To improve your chances of a consistent result, follow the instructions but be aware dirt or soap residues are the enemies to the dyeing process. So I ensure the wash before dyeing is a thorough one, with no fabric conditioner. You could try using distilled white vinegar as a conditioner replacement (useful when you've run out or for towels that you need to stay absorbent), because it helps by neutralising any remaining soap. Choose the highest spin setting your machine offers to get rid of all of those residues. Then, clean out the detergent/conditioner drawer and run another rinse cycle with just water, selecting the option for 'water plus' if your machine has the function to boost the amount of water used in the rinse process.The aim is to make sure there's nothing but clean detergent free fabric.Place the Dylon pod on top of the freshly-washed well-rinsed damp fabrics and follow the remaining instructions for the experience you've been dyeing to see.4 wash cycles (cleaning, dyeing, after dye wash, machine clean-out wash) per batch of clothes is a bit energy intensive, so you might want to wait until you've got enough items to rejuvenate or for when it coincides with your scheduled machine maintenance wash and run a limescale treatment during the final clean-out wash killing two birds with one stone, to justify the 'leccy costs. But, it's better than looking scruffy or throwing out garments and your machine will most certainly be free of germs after the whole process.Several cups of tea later... results were uniform colour throughout.I chose the Navy Blue option (the product picture shot isn't that accurate in the colour shade - it appears online as a denim blue). Results were a nice and deep uniform blue to several items all done at the same time (3 pairs of partially faded navy trousers, 2 casual navy shirts that looked a little tatty and a light blue t-shirt). One dye pod was enough to refresh all the garments to look crisp and close to new again without looking artificially over coloured.I was a little apprehensive worried I'd get blotchy results claimed by other reviewers, but following the instructions which state to run on a 40 degrees cotton cycle, the results were as good as Dylon's previous generation all-in-one pouch, minus any dyed fingers. Trust me, the dye powder can get everywhere if it's mishandled, the pod just makes it all nice and simples.

Works well. Had a dressing gown/bathrobe that got ‘bleached’ by benzoyl peroxide and had made a purple colour pink on the colllar. This has even out the colour on the collar and spruced up the overall dressing gown.In structions were a bit unclear, says to place in front loader machine ‘unwrapped with the lid removed’. I didn’t want to put in the plastic wrapping, so I took it off and just placed the pot with the lid removed. The item needed a wash which was done in a normal load, then a wash with colour pod, another wash to clean any remaining colour. Then an empty load to wash the machine, I put in washing soda. So 4 washes in total.There was no smell and overall I was pleased with the coverage. I think a second dye would make it perfect but for me it’s not worth the cost. I would recommend.

Excellent product. Bought to change colour of partner's denim smock top and possible bleach marks on a shirt. Was not expecting such a good result! All marks were covered brilliantly and colour (navy) was vibrant. Both items look like new!

I bought this to dye a pair of jeans which were looking a bit sad but I didn't want to throw them away as they still had life left in them. They were just over the weight recommendation so I wasn't sure if the colour would be dark/solid enough but they've come out great! Love the colour, solid black and consistent all over. Would buy again.

0 STAR – BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS PRODUCT!Something has definitely changed with this product, and unfortunately I learned that the hard way. I used Dylon several times a few years ago to refresh the colour of clothes, and it always worked perfectly. I never had any problems whatsoever. So I had no reason to expect anything different this time. A few days ago, I used it to refresh the colour of some black joggers. I followed the instructions exactly and ran the washing machine afterwards, as instructed.Unfortunately, my washing machine was left covered in black dye residue. Since then, I have washed the machine countless times with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. I have manually cleaned the rubber seal and underneath the drum as much as I possibly could, using wet wipes and even cotton buds. Every time I wiped the inside, the wipes were covered in black dye. It was honestly shocking — and at times it seemed as though I was actually getting MORE black residue out rather than less. The worst part was that the machine started leaving black flakes of dye all over my clothes. Imagine putting clean clothes into your washing machine and taking them out covered in black specks. 😩 After two frustrating days of trying everything I could think of, I asked ChatGPT for advice and purchased a Washing Machine Cleaner. Thankfully, that product helped considerably and cleaned the machine much better. The machine is no longer leaving black flakes on my clothes, although I can still find some black dye around the edges when I wipe them. I genuinely hope the remaining residue eventually disappears because I really don't want to have to replace my washing machine over this.I then checked the reviews and was shocked to see that I'm clearly not the only person experiencing this problem. Based on my previous experience with Dylon, I strongly suspect that the formula has been changed. I used this product numerous times in the past and NEVER experienced anything remotely like this.I absolutely DO NOT recommend this product anymore.⚠️ If you decide to use it despite this warning, I would strongly recommend running a proper washing machine cleaner immediately afterwards. It may save you a huge amount of time, frustration and potentially an expensive washing machine replacement.Very disappointing, especially considering how reliable this product used to be.

I'm mostly happy with the result of my dye, having dyed a sheet of cotton and a blouse together to make sure they were the same shade. When in the washing machine, I was worried about the end result being patchy fro what I could see through the window but luckily the pink is a solid shade!However, there are these dyed blue specks all over both items. I'm going to assume this is cross contamination from another colour in the factory but this is an extreme oversight for this kind of product! It's not a major issue for my sheet of cotton as when I plan out my patterns I can do my best to avoid these specks, but the blouse I don't think I can do much for other than hope they aren't too noticeable.

It is red!!! I’d read reviews saying that the dyed garments had come out pink, but as long as you don’t overload the machine with too many items it produces a stunning red!Very easy to use and I’d certainly recommend! Make sure you check the labels tho cos polyester won’t take the colour and mixed fibres will be lighter (so may well turn out pink)I was dying a cushion cover that was a very faded terracotta colour, and a pair of white cotton shorts that had been stained by sun cream. Bear in mind that stitches are usually polyester so will stay the original colour (tho this actually gives a gorgeous contrast)Really happy with my purchase and the results!

غاليه ومبتعملش حاجه عن تجربه انصح بسبغه اليد افضل

Wie immer perfekt

Ho utilizzato il prodotto per ridare colore ad alcuni capi verde militare ormai sbiaditi e il risultato è stato molto soddisfacente. La confezione è estremamente semplice da usare: basta inserire il pod direttamente nel cestello della lavatrice seguendo le istruzioni, senza dover preparare miscele o utilizzare contenitori aggiuntivi. La praticità è sicuramente uno dei suoi punti di forza.Il colore ottenuto è risultato uniforme e intenso, con una tonalità verde oliva naturale e piacevole. Su tessuti prevalentemente in cotone il prodotto ha aderito molto bene, coprendo efficacemente lo scolorimento e restituendo ai capi un aspetto quasi nuovo. La tinta appare resistente ai successivi lavaggi e non ho riscontrato trasferimenti di colore sulla lavatrice.Un aspetto da tenere presente è che, come indicato dal produttore e confermato dall’esperienza di molti utilizzatori, il risultato dipende molto dalla composizione del tessuto: rende al meglio su fibre naturali come cotone, lino e viscosa, mentre su tessuti sintetici l’effetto può essere meno evidente.Nel complesso è un prodotto affidabile, pratico e conveniente per chi desidera rinnovare capi usurati, uniformare il colore di indumenti sbiaditi o personalizzare tessuti senza particolari competenze. Lo ricomprerei senza esitazione per altri progetti di tintura domestica.
